Hello everyone! As I have said recently, I went on a sweet/dessert making “binge,” but because of that I have gained weight, which sucks. Thus, I have definitely cut back on the amount of sugar I eat, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it every once in awhile. Thus, I bring you a no bake white chocolate strawberry mousse cake that I made a little while back. I got the recipe courtesy of Home Cooking Adventures. While the cake in their pictures comes out a lot prettier and even, mine still tasted good, so I’ll take solace in that lol. So indulge your sweet tooth, give it a try, and let me know how it goes!

Ingredients:

9 oz crushed graham crackers

6 oz melted butter

7 oz white chocolate chips

12 oz whipping cream

1/2 tbsp gelatin powder

2 tbsp cold water

10 oz strawberries, hulled

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tbsp gelatin powder

2 tbsp cold water

7 oz whipping cream

Fresh sliced strawberries, for decoration

Directions:

Cut the 7 oz strawberries and place in a small saucepan with sugar over medium heat until sugar dissolves

Pour into a blender and puree

Dissolve 1/2 tbsp gelatin in 2 tbsp cold water and let it swell ~5min

Place gelatin in saucepan over low heat until it dissolves and then mix into strawberry puree

Let sauce cool to room temp

Place graham crackers into food processor and pulse until you have crumbs

Add the melted butter and process until fully combined

Push the crust into the bottom of a 8-9″ springform pan until covered

Refrigerate until needed

Dissolve gelatin in water and let swell for ~5 minutes

Add chocolate and 5 oz whipping cream and melt with double boiler

Again place swelled gelatin over low heat until dissolved and pour into white chocolate mixture and let cool

Whip the other 7 oz of whipping cream to stiff peaks and mix in the white chocolate mixture until well combined

Pour the chocolate mousse over the crust and refrigerate for ~20 min to let set

Whip the 7 oz whipping cream to stiff peaks and add the strawberry mixture until well combined

Pour over the set white chocolate mixture

Refrigerate 4 hours to overnight before serving

Use a knife (warm) to run around the edge of the pan before springing it open, then slice it up and go to town!
